Have you changed the settings.ini file to allow remote connections??

Thanks! That was it. The demo works, now onto getting it in my .NET app.

Anyone here embedded Map Monkey into a .NET application?

Okay, got it working.

For those wanting to embed map monkey into a .NET here is the vb.net (visual Basic.net) code (add the MonkeyTalk.dll to your references as a COM component of course).

Oh, I put a Panel on my form called PanelGPS, the application embeds to that panel. I'll have more stuff for this in a few weeks as this grows, I'll most likely write a vb.net class around the MonkeyTalk.dll.

My plan? To build a Satellite Radio/MP3/GPS application for use in my car.

Code:

Dim MapMonkey As New MonkeyTalk.MonkeyMessenger
    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        If Not MapMonkey.IsMapMonkeyRunning() Then
            Shell("C:\DestinatorApps\Map Monkey\MapMonkey.exe", AppWinStyle.Hide, False)
            Dim I As Integer
            For I = 0 To 100
                Threading.Thread.Sleep(10)
                Application.DoEvents()
            Next I
        End If
        If MapMonkey.IsMapMonkeyRunning Then
            MapMonkey.Connected = True
            Dim M As Integer = Me.PanelGPS.Handle.ToInt32
            Dim S = MapMonkey.EmbedMapMonkey(M, False)
            MessageBox.Show(S)
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("Map Monkey is not running.")
        End If
    End Sub
